Abstract: The examples include methods and apparatuses to power a peripheral device through a PUSB port. Powering a peripheral device through a PUSB port includes receiving a request for a plurality of PUSB power options for a PUSB port coupled to a device, providing the plurality of PUSB power options in a hardware initialization system, receiving a selection PUSB power option from the plurality of PUSB power options, and providing a power, corresponding to the selection PUSB power option, to the PUSB port.

Abstract: Examples relate to a signal combiner. A system may include a signal combiner to receive a first signal from a first peripheral device. The signal combiner may similarly receive a second signal from a second peripheral device. Further, the signal combiner may combine the first signal and the second signal into a combined signal. The system may also include a controller coupled to the signal combiner. The controller may receive the combined signal.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to assigning power sources. An example system includes a network device and a computing device with a BIOS. The BIOS provides the network device a heartbeat in response to the computing device entering a hibernation state, assigns a power source to a network interface card (NIC) of the network device via a power delivery controller, and assigns the NIC to receive Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support. The system can place the computing device to a threshold power state responsive to the NIC receiving WOL support.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to serial port pin voltages. For example, an apparatus includes a first input device to receive a first input based on a setting, a second input device to receive a second input based on the setting, and a third input device to receive a third input based on the setting. The apparatus also includes a circuit coupled to the first input device, the second input device, and the third input device. In response to the first input, the second input, and the third input, the circuit is to provide a first voltage to a first pin of a serial port and a second voltage to a second pin of the serial port. The first voltage and the second voltage are defined by the setting.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a latching system. An example latching system can include a compute unit include a first latching interface and a mounting device including a second latching interface to receive the first latching interface. The compute unit can be resiliently connected electrically and mechanically to the mounting device via the first and the second latching interfaces.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide the ability for a docking station to authorize a user to utilize the docking station. In one example method, the docking station determines whether a computing device is docked to the docking station and, upon determining the computing device is docked to the docking station, the docking station determines whether a user associated with the computing device is an authorized user of the docking station. As an example, if the user is an authorized user of the docking station, the docking station enables ports of the docking station for access by the computing device.
